VISTA BEING AWESOME!?! What are you thinking Jasonsplace. It's the second worst sw that MS has ever released. It gives ME a run for it's money in just all around break and piss you off. There's something wrong w/ you jason. I can obviously tell also that you don't know very much about computers. Because no self-respecting Computer Savy person would ever say "I love vista".
I think you just showed that you don't know very much about computers. Personally, I have worked in IT, software development and web development. I started using Vista when the first Public Beta was released. I love it because the interface is intuitive, it's quick and it looks sleek. The problem you see with Vista is most likely because you are running it on unsupported hardware. When XP first came out everyone said that it was slow and bloated and didn't work with their hardware. People hated it. The problem then is the same one we have now. People bought XP to run on 5 year old hardware that barely hit the minimum system requirements or maybe it didn't even meet them. Now 5 years later that hardware has basically disappeared and XP is awesome. When you buy a brand new OS and expect it to work on your old computer you are just setting yourself up for disappointment. In the year and a half that I have been using Vista I have yet to see a crash. I use it on an HP Pavilion dv8110 laptop for about 10-11 hours/day and it has been very stable and very good to me. Don't you tell me that I don't know anything about computers.
man I missed this when it was first out and missed out on all the cool pix. I wonder for those of us who buy phones now w/ WM6 if there will be an upgrade or if you'll have to pay for it, or will those phones not support it. Very interesting though and sounds neat.
Nokia isn't popular in the United States. I read an article about it in Forbes (lol my dad gets it). It said that Nokia is by far the most popular phone brand in Europe and elsewhere, but in the U.S. almost nobody uses it.
Oh wait... Now I'm probably sounding like an arrogant bastard. But Microsoft is most likely aiming the phone towards Americans. The only other place Zune has been released in is Canada.

That's because, excluding the Xbox 360, Microsoft has better, cheaper, more reliable products with better functionality. People only like the iPod because it's an undying fad, and they want to fit in. If they would go buy what is a better, cheaper product, they'd get the Zune and WM 7(upon release).
If I had friends and could use a cell phone, I'd get the WM 7 as well.
How is the 360 excluded? It's way better than both PS3 and Wii.
On topic though, I think it'll be great that they come out with this, but by 2009, Apple will have come out with a new, better version of the iPhone, so they'll still be ahead.

I'm in the US and all I use are Nokia's. I love their phones. For a simple phone their phones are durable and some of the only ones that i've found to last through the 2 year contract that you get stuck in. All 3 of the cell phones that i've owned have been Nokia's. My wife, dad and brother all have Nokia's as well. I see them everywhere I go. That being said, I don't really see the more advanced Nokia models very much.
I've had a couple motorolas and they're beasts, they put up with a lot of damage with me..
Currently rocking a helio ocean which is a little tank itself.
this would be a big improvement for microsoft, it would definitely make them at least even with apple, but just keep in mind the need to keep their focus on them not apple, except for maybe looking at what apple is doing and improving it to make it more user friendly. microsoft's #1, apple's #2 I LOL'd
